Hey TTG users,

I designed this desktop background the other day and I was just wondering if I could get some people to rate it and maybe give me some constructive criticism on how to improve it.

I already know this is a pretty mainstream design type, but I just decided to whip it up in my spare time

Desktop background;

I like most of the background apart from the text itself.

The text has a fairly basic font and looks pretty simplistic. Could do with a different colour for the text to make it stand out even more.

Same goes with the background, it looks nice, but could do with some more detail. The fact that it's getting dark around the edges bugs me. Good job though.

This is a decent piece...

I'm not a great fan of 3d text but I like the way this looks. It flows well, not my choice of colour though.

Good effort.

7/10

Thank you for your feedback Uzi.

I hesitated on changing the font before I posted this as its quite simple as if its a default font. I'll be sure to change the font in my next piece

As for the colour of the font, what colour would you suggest to stand out against the purple background?

Okay, I'll try a little harder with the background next time, as you can clearly see, not much effort as put into the background layers. As for the edges, I don't usually do it, but it just seemed like a nice effect to add at the time

You're welcome buddy, just giving some simple constructive criticism!

Anyway, I would recommend a blue colouring, might not look too good with the purple background. Maybe next time you should make the background blue and the text silver?

As for what you mentioned about the background, it's nice but I would like to see you focussing on the background more next time. Good luck man!

Thanks Inkz,

As Uzi said, it looks like a pretty basic font. So I'm contemplating on changing the font to something with a little more 'pow' in my next piece. The colour was a random choice, I usually go onto colour overlay and slide the bar up and down until I find a colour I like and then change the depth of the colour to my specific liking.

Sounds like a decent colour plan, I'll try and make some time tomorrow afternoon to design another desktop, if not then some time this week.
I shall be focusing more on the background in my next piece, I might PM you the link when its up so you can see how I'm getting along

I like the color, text, background, and all that

what gets me is the text all leaning and stuff.

I think it's kinda overkill

If maybe JUST the G was leaning or JUST the last L

I think it would look killer

8/10 for a solid clean piece w/no obvious flaws other than design preference
